And he got the Aluminium one a bit wrong. I understand it was spelt (and spoken) like that here before US was even an itch in Uncle Sam''s pants. What''s up with you Nexus? I''m sure you don''t usually come across as that much of a helmet.

[GenerationA47 747]

"people''s", not "peoples"

"English teacher", not "English Teacher"

"don''t", not "dont"

"having only male grandparents", not "lack of grammar"

Ha ha, just crankin'' yer yank, Nexus. Though to be fair, your prose is a shocker! OTBC!

The earliest citation given in the Oxford English Dictionary for any word used as a name for this element is alumium, which British chemist and inventor Humphry Davy employed in 1808 for the metal he was trying to isolate electrolytically from the mineral alumina. The citation is from the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London:

"Had I been so fortunate as to have obtained more certain evidences on

this subject, and to have procured the metallic substances I was in

search of, I should have proposed for them the names of silicium,

alumium, zirconium, and glucium."^[50][51]

Davy settled on aluminum by the time he published his 1812 book Chemical Philosophy:

"This substance appears to contain a peculiar metal, but as yet

Aluminum has not been obtained in a perfectly free state, though alloys

of it with other metalline substances have been procured sufficiently

distinct to indicate the probable nature of alumina."^[52] But the same year, an anonymous contributor to the Quarterly Review, a British political-literary journal, in a review of Davy''s book, objected to aluminum and proposed the name aluminium, "for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound."

However, its syntactic and cognitive content is, of course, unimpeachable!

I have been a Norwich City supporter for 27 years.  I have read this board without posting.  I am currently Head of English Studies at one of what is said to be one of our great Universities.

I have no idea in what field you correct the errors of others but it cannot be in English I hope.  Your post, as it stands, would be a correction challenge but one only to engage those on GCSE.
